NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alliance HealthCare Services, Inc. (NYSE:AIQ), a leading national
provider of outpatient diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy
services, announced that it has established a new, state-of-the-art
diagnostic imaging center as part of a partnership with Emory Healthcare

its initiative of growing its portfolio in diagnostic imaging services
in partnership with hospitals and healthcare groups.

“It is a win-win situation for all.”

The partnership between Alliance Imaging and Emory Healthcare began on
October 1, 2012 and established a diagnostic imaging facility located in

metro-Atlanta community,” noted Dane C. Peterson, chief executive
officer of Emory University Hospital Midtown. “We look forward to
forging this new relationship with Alliance, who will provide the
management, marketing and support staff to assist our health care staff.”

“This opportunity will give patients the option of choosing a facility
that is closer to home for their imaging needs, while still offering
Emory’s top-notch clinical staff to care for them,” says Craig McCoy,
CEO of Emory Johns Creek Hospital. “It is a win-win situation for all.”
